Title
Resolution to Approve Insurance Policy Renewal Agreements with Midwest Employers’ Casualty for Excess Worker’s Compensation Coverage (estimated annual premium of $201,932.00) and Allianz for Auto Physical Damage Coverage effective July 1, 2023 (annual premium of $101,474.00)
Memorandum
This resolution requests City Council approval of insurance policy renewal agreements with Midwest Employers’ Casualty and Allianz as recommended by the City’s insurance broker, Hylant Group.
Midwest has provided a competitive two-year term renewal quote which maintains a $500,000 self-insured retention (“SIR”) for classifications other than police and fire. The SIR for police and fire employees will increase from $600,000 on the expiring policy to $750,000. This increase is due to claims experience throughout the marketplace and the increase in social unrest seen across the country. The estimated amount of the annual premium is $100,966.00 and is subject to an annual audit.
Allianz has provided a one-year term renewal quote for automobile physical damage. This policy renewal represents a modest three percent (3%) increase from the expiring policy. The amount of the annual premium for this policy renewal is $101,474.00.
Budget and Fiscal Impact: Funding for the agreements is available in the annual Risk Fund Operations and Maintenance Budget, if so approved annually by City Council.
City Staff recommends that Council approve the policy renewals as set forth above.
